There are less losses and cleaning is much easier than with the prior art pastes and non-resinated pigment powders. Coarse or fine particles can advantageously be obtained if desired by routine variations of the process conditions.
  • compositions can be made directly from crude pigments through a simple 2- or 3-step process comprising dry-milling, blending and wet-shearing. Additional steps are possible but generally superfluous.
  • the invention also pertains to a process for making a pigment composition, comprising the steps of

Avoiding caking can be achieved simply by means well-known in the art, such as the choice of a resin having a softening point below the dry-milling temperature, reducing the amount of components which are liquid at the dry-milling temperature, and/or cooling.
  • a resin is used in the step a), it is preferably used in particulate form.

The average is meant by weight of the fractions.
  • the dry-milling step a) may also induce a partial or complete transformation of the crude pigment into a particular crystal phase, which transformation is generally beneficial.

  • the necessary time of treatment depends on the desired energy input, the amount of blend to be treated and the efficiency of the means for kneading, from which parameters it can be calculated.
  • the temperature and energy input are independent from the type of device and should be set to the same values also in other devices, such as batch or Sigma kneaders and edge or pan mills.

  • step c When any optional component of not negligible volatility (especially such of boiling point of below 80° C. or from 80 to 150° C. at 10 5 Pa) is present during step c), it is preferred to eliminate it partially or wholly from the composition through evaporation during or after step c). This can be easily done for example through vents in an extruder or in the cover of a kneader in step c), or in an oven, fluidized bed, drying tower, tumbler or any other drying means after step c), preferably under reduced pressure of from 1-10 5 Pa, especially from 10 2 -3 ⁇ 10 4 Pa.

  • the pigments obtainable by the instant process are in many cases advantageously isometric with an aspect ratio generally below 5:1, preferably below 2.5:1 for 50% or more of the particles, though no salt is used and a liquid phase for particle growth is absent.
  • the total process time can be kept short, what is economically very advantageous.
  • residence times of about from 10 min to 100 h in the dry-milling step a) and from 1 s to 10 h in the kneading step c) lead to fully satisfactory results.
  • Continuous equipment such as extruders usually require much shorter residence times than batch kneaders for the same result in step c), for example up to only 15 min.
  • the residence time is irrelevant in the blending step b), it is generally desirable to keep it as short as possible for cost reasons.

Accordingly, there is no requirement to wash the product to remove solvent and therefore no solvent recovery step is required. Thus, the overall solvent use and water consumption is much lower than for a conventional process. Additionally, no effluent is generated leading to additional environmental and cost benefits.
